Ex-racing driver and Celebrity Race Across The World contestant Billy Monger has been banned from driving for crashing into three parked cars, according to Surrey Police.
Monger, 25, whose nickname is Billy Whizz after the Beano comic character, was convicted of driving without due care and attention at Guildford Magistrates’ Court in connection with the incident in Limpsfield, Surrey, on January 19.
Monger, of Stan Hill, Charlwood, Horley, Surrey, was disqualified from driving for 49 days and ordered to pay fines and costs totalling £2,694, a force spokesman said.
The spokesman said: “Billy Monger was driving a black Toyota Supra when he was involved in the collision in Snatts Hill around 11.55pm on January 19 2024.
“Monger was driving along the 30mph road when he collided with a Volkswagen Lupo, a Volkswagen Golf and a Citroen C, causing damage to all three cars.
“Damage was also caused to a lamp post and a hedge and a wall in the front garden of a nearby property.”
Rick Scholey, supervisor for the road traffic collision team, who investigated the case, said: “Monger was not paying attention when he lost control of his car which resulted in him colliding with three parked cars, causing significant damage to the vehicles before then colliding with a hedge and wall belonging to a nearby house.
“Thankfully, no-one was in the road at the time otherwise this could have had far more serious consequences.”
